Pam Holiman

General Manger of Billing/Collections at APM Terminals During Rich's time as my direct report, he was very conscientious and I always could count on him to complete a job on time and without unnecessary assistance. When Rich first began working for me, he was an individual contributor and quickly proved that he was capable of more responsibility. He was promoted to a supervisor/manager role. During his time with employees reporting to him, he always ensured that nothing slid through the cracks by either him or his team. Rich can multi task without issue and is high energy. He brings with him a positive attitude every day. Pam Holiman – ac5zkr@r.postjobfree.com, 704-***-**** (office) Rich notes: Pam was my manager at APM Terminals.
